We all know that famous saying, LOCATION – LOCATION – LOCATION and set in a very popular area of Market Drayton, where bungalows rarely come on to the market, is this large and impressive, two bedroom semi-detached bungalow and to appreciate everything this property has to offer, we recommend internal and external inspections. The bungalow sits in generous sized corner plot gardens with shaped lawns, patio area and the driveway leads to the detached single garage. If you have been searching for a bungalow where all you need do is move into, then I believe 5 Forest Road is the bungalow for you.
The town circular bus route is close by, where the bus runs daily into the town centre, except Sunday's and this service has proved extremely popular, especially if you are unable to drive.
The full living accommodation comprises: reception hall, lounge, inner hallway, breakfast/kitchen, uPVC double glazed conservatory, two good sized bedrooms, modern white shower room, gas central heating, uPVC double glazed windows, good sized corner plot gardens, driveway and detached single garage.
Market Drayton is a small market town in north Shropshire, close to the Welsh Border. It is on the River Tern, between Shrewsbury and Stoke-on-Trent, and was formerly known as "Drayton in Hales" (c. 1868) and earlier simply as "Drayton" (c. 1695). Market Drayton is on the Shropshire Union Canal and on Regional Cycle Route 75. The A53 road by-passes the town. The counties of Staffordshire, Cheshire, and the Welsh Border are close by.
Market Drayton has a lot to offer including all the beautiful architecture, fantastic street market every Wednesday, Cinema, public houses, a variety of restaurants, swimming baths, nursery, primary, secondary and sixth form colleges.
DO YOU NEED TO COMMUTE
Something to consider is the mainline railway stations of Stafford, Stoke-On-Trent and Crewe are all within a forty minutes’ drive and Manchester Airport and Birmingham airport are around one hour away. East Midlands Airport is slightly further and overall if you are having to commute, then this location is sure to prove popular.
